Urban Farming | Grow Your Own Organic Garden Green Smoothie Recipe

Brentwood Urban Farm: A Sustainable Homestead in the City of Los Angeles

Owned and operated by green farmers: Emily Richards and John Nogawski. Learn more here.

What happens in Los Angeles, stays in Los Angeles. Such is the case for this organic urban farm. Brentwood Urban Farm is located in the heart of Los Angeles with a focus on water-preservation, organic ingredients, and building a green community. Everything they grow either gets consumed or goes back into the earth, and every product used is recycled and conserved; the house itself features solar panels and a rain water collection system, making this the ultimate sustainable homestead.

Brentwood Urban Farms has a community garden they call Communigreen, where homesteaders within the community can share and help grow their own vegetable, fruits, and gardens. We will be filming with them all season long, stick with us and watch as Brentwood Urban Farms grows their organic garden, makes a beehive, and even installs and builds a yurt! Along the way we'll also pick up many more sustainable tips! But what are you waiting for? Keep reading to get started on making your own organic smoothie, straight from the veggies you can grow at home.

Insider Tips for Sustainable Living:

Green Tip #1 – Boost Your Nutrients!

Pick your garden's vegetables right before you put them into the blender so they retain their maximum nutritional value.

Green Tip #2 – Preserve Your Fruits!

Need to use your fruit before it spoils? Keep it in the freezer for months! Use and reuse your freezer bags, wash and repeat!

Green Tip #3 – Conserve Your Water!

Keep a clean bucket in the sink to catch all your water waste while you prepare your food. Once you're done, bring it outside and water the plants.

    Dry your lime scraps out in the sun. Then chop them up an burn as Potpourri. Great way to purify the air in the house.
